Today's MI vs GG pitch report

“The wicket is not green; it's a little brownish in color. There is decent amount of grass, but it is only to bind the wicket. There are patches where there is no grass, so it could be on the slower side. There is a little bit of moisture, but that probably will ease out as the match goes on. There could be some help for seamers in the powerplay.” - Mithali Raj
